This is a MUST DO Hiking Tour in the prettiest hill range from the 7 hills which creates Edinburgh. Discover the Scottish Highlands & Stunning Scottish Nature just on outskirts of capital city! If you love nature & want to explore real beauty of Edinburgh and famous Pentland Hills, then this is the ideal Hiking tour for you. ( BACK BY LUNCH-TIME, ALL DAY BUS TICKET INCLUDED!)
We’ll hike between 4 - 6 miles (5 - 10 KM) depending on how we are doing on time, with an elevation gain of 493 meters (1600FT). You’ll learn about flora & fauna, geology, Scottish history and nature. Pentlands offer stunning views over the whole of Edinburgh and Lothian region, the Borders and Fife. You'll also see Scottish Lochs (Lakes). We'll go at the pace of everyone in the group and take breaks as needed.
We might be able to spot the illusive Highland Cows (Hairy Coos), if everyone in the group is okay to hike that direction as it is a steeper climb.
This is the BEST Hiking Tour in Edinburgh Scotland!

The Hill and Nature hike with Rishi was a high point of our visit to Scotland. Rishi is very knowledgeable and generous and we learned so much about the beautiful Pentland Hills of Scotland. Two highlights were seeing Highland Cows and the beautiful view from the top of the peak we climbed. We are very happy we took this hike and we recommend it.

Rishi was a superb guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and enjoyable. Our group consisted of various levels of hiking skill and Rishi made all of us feel capable and comfortable. In addition, he carried drinks and snacks for us all. The hike was fabulous thanks to him. I highly recommend that anyone who spends any time in Edinburgh should make the time to do this hike with Rishi.

Great hike to see the natural beauty of Scotland! The hike is very steep so hiking poles are recommended if you are not an experienced hiker. Rishi is very knowledgeable and provided a history of the area; a description of the geographical landscape including the flowers, trees. and grasses; along with the birds and animals. We saw highland cows, sheep, and heard several different birds. He provided a great selection of snacks with bottled water. This is one hike not to miss while you are visiting Edinburgh!

One of our favorite days in Scotland! The scenery was gorgeous-we saw every shade of green, waterfalls, sheep and highland cows! It was a wonderful contrast to the city where we were staying plus we got some exercise as an added bonus. Rishi is a perfect guide!

We really enjoyed this spectacular hike with Rishi. He is a phenomenal guide and provided us with a thorough education about the Pentlands. Rishi paid attention to the abilities and needs of the group and constantly checked in on the welfare of all of the hikers. He was prepared for every eventuality and carried hiking poles, warming blankets, snacks and water for our group. The views in the Pentlands were incredible and we got some great photos.

Can’t say enough about how great a guide Rishi is. Totally open, generous, prepared, patient and super knowledgeable! We wanted to spend a day in the countryside and this was perfect. You’re a half hour outside Edinburgh but feel like you’re in deeply remote nature. Don’t miss this essential day in your Edinburgh itinerary. The Highlands are so far away and you spend most of the day on the bus. This is much better!

This experience was a 10/10 in my book! My husband and I wanted to do something unique in our trip to Edinburgh and this hike was the highlight of the trip! Rishi was a wonderful guide and you could see that he feels incredibly passionate about nature and hiking. He is also very experienced, and since the weather was tricky that day, he helped us navigate the muddy terrain we were dealt with! We got to see sheep all along our hike and the calls of birds. Although at times it was a challenging hike due to the elevation, Rishi was always mindful of breaks and adjusting to our speed if needed. We were able to complete this fantastic experience feeling very accomplished, seeing incredible views of the Scottish Moors and getting to know a bit more of the nature and history surrounding Scotland!
It was a really amazing hike and would 100% do it again!! It one of those “must-do” experiences that will get you out of the city and with nature, and really getting a feel for the Scottish wonders that the country provides.
Thank you, Rishi for sharing with us your experiences, knowledge, and passion for hiking. It was a true pleasure getting to know you throughout this experience and we are truly grateful for the wonderful memories that you have given us on our trip!!! We’ll always treasure it!
